The Art World is only just stumbling on to what fans of German kitchens have known for years, in that 'white is the new black'!

Many creatives have previously referred to the "Apple effect", with a modern penchant for minimal white design reflected in the popularity of products like the iPhone and iPad but alas, the white handle-less kitchen from Germany came first and so for those fans of the simple white kitchen, here is the complete works of Schuller in White.

Taking a look at traditional, clever and decorative storage options, with Schuller Kitchens

People often ask us what makes Schuller kitchens our favourite brand of German made kitchens and why we were one of the first UK dealers to market the brand and it boils down to clever solutions and attention to detail.

Whilst Schuller is mid range in terms of its price point, it punches way above its weight in terms of its furniture....

A Shaker style of kitchen is a typically favoured by those who love the more traditional and classic style and most German kitchens it is fair to say are more contemporary, yet the Casa door style from Schuller has elements of both, classic and contemporary. A German Shaker with curved doors!

erman made Schuller kitchens by Lieben Der Kuche (Love the Kitchen) have been a hit with our customers in 2014 and whilst the ubiquitous white handle-less gloss and high gloss kitchens will always feature prominently with German kitchen customers it was nice to see some other colour choices come to the forefront in 2014.

For our recent clients Jason and Joanne in Eccleston, Lancashire we had a young professional family who wanted the efficiency of a German made Schuller kitchen, fit for both the family's needs and for entertaining, that offered ample storage solutions, an open and informal feel but without the use of a solid white handleless kitchen design that the Germans are synonymous with.

Here, we take a look back at 2014 and some of the projects we at Lieben Der Kuche have completed, and what kitchens stood out....

For us, and most of our customers this year we would have to say that the Biella, Gala, and Fino topped the charts and whilst many opted for both High Gloss White and Matt Whites, it was great to see some colours like Truffle Brown, Anthracite, and Champagne get chosen by a number of different colours...

At our recent visit to the impressive Schuller facility in Germany, some very notable changes had taken place as the Herrieden, Bavaria location has grown substantially since our last visit and it's no wonder, when we learned recently that nearly 3000 kitchens leave the facility each week.

Lieben Der Kuche (Love the Kitchen) had the pleasure of visiting the ever expanding Schuller factory last week and whilst there are new designs coming for the normal Schuller C Collection, it's the Next125 collection that stole the visit for us.

Whilst the new Next125 German kitchens are set to wow UK buyers with the styles alone, Schuller have...

Siemens home appliances, cutting edge for over 160 years. Now with 60% off

Its hard to believe but Siemens has been at innovation's cutting edge for over 160 years now and whilst the company have moved on since its 1847 inception under founder Werner von Siemens, and its home appliances have developed at quite a pace since the first vacuum cleaner in 1906, or the first Siemens dishwasher 1964, its good to know its founders core value of 'perfecting technologies' is just as much at the heart of the modern day Siemens.

Whilst we love German made kitchens at Lieben Der Kuche it doesn't mean that we think that the English kitchen industry is (on the whole) lagging behind, as has been the subject of much debate at the minute.

It is however, fair to say that one of the biggest customer dissatisfactions in the UK kitchen industry is in terms of the fitting, and its here that...

As the modern kitchen buyer has become more creative and demanding, manufacturers have had to up their game to keep pace and it's the likes of kitchen appliance and accessory manufacturers that are setting the pace in innovation.

In the kitchen extraction sector, consumers have more choice than ever before, where beauty is partnered with brawn and as such the term "decorative hoods" has started to gain momentum.

As with choosing which kitchen furniture brand to pick amongst the many available, both from foreign and domestic manufacturers, (p.s. buy German and buy Schuller, we are not biased, honest), there is also a plethora of home appliance brands and whilst you can spend £70,000 on German kitchen furniture with Poggenpohl and £3000 upwards for some Gaggenau appliances, what about the mid market buyer?

That's where Schuller German made kitchens and Siemens Home Appliances form a...

We all seem to notice the natural gathering of guests in our kitchens, when hosting a dinner parties or gatherings and it poses some interesting questions and considerations.

Do our guests do this for the central accessibility to the rest of the house or the closeness of food, nibbles and drinks within arms reach? Is the modern kitchen continually developing to answer the changing needs of homeowners? Have we favoured more open plan kitchens and combined...

We may be a little biased here at Lieben Der Kuche as we like to think as ourselves as ambassadors for our kitchen brands of Hacker, Schuller and Nobilia, and news that they are dominating the UK kitchen imports only cements the belief we have held for some years now, and its seems that the UK kitchen market agrees, in that whilst you can get some nice looking kitchens that aren't from our Bavarian cousins, if you want quality, reliability and durability...

At German Kitchens specialist, Lieben Der Kuche Ltd we work with three of the largest German made kitchen brands in Hacker, Schuller and Nobilia and whilst the kitchen furniture and components are first rate, a kitchen is all about the sum of its parts, and a big part of Modern Kitchen Solutions are appliances and accessories.

Whilst Gloss kitchens and handleless kitchens are very popular at the moment, and the German made brands from the likes of Nobilia, Hacker and Schuller cater for this market brilliantly, another popular trend emerging at the moment is mixing materials, styles and textures.

With this in mind, the Gala Brilliant White Gloss and Anthrazit Mix from Lieben Der Kuche Ltd, the German kitchens specialists is an uber solution for an uber kitchen.

Lieben Der Kuche is proud to update you on one of our current designs being installed now in Stafford.

The brief on this project was to create the archetypal German Kitchen. Being Doctors the clients demanded the highest attention to detail and overall quality and they were looking at having a style that the German made kitchens are famed for, namely a truly handle-less white gloss kitchen.

No, the answer is that truth we know about German made products, German engineering and German quality in their manufacturing. Beauty needs to be more than skin deep...

For those of you that are not familiar with the term 'tambour door' in essence it's a posh fancy French derived words for 'roller shutter, and now its meaning has been explained, does it still conjure up the same mystique and charm as title first gave you the impression?

As with any product in any industry from Apple iPhones and iPads to Rolex watches, or to 'Couture' fashions and perfumes from Dior or Chanel, there are levels of authenticity from the real deal, then there is the good imitation, the not so good imitation and then the blatant copy/counterfeit versions and with German Kitchens the market is no different.

There are firms like ourselves, Lieben Der Kuche Ltd (i.e. Love the Kitchen) who at the forefront of the...

It is important to dry them off your hacker kitchen units, shelves,...

Whilst the gloss kitchens from the likes of Hacker, Nobilia and Schuller have pretty much dominated the UK market for gloss kitchens, high gloss kitchens and German kitchens, one other style is very much in trend at the moment. So much so that our partners in Nobilia and Hacker have both said that pre-orders for 2013 are split 50/50 between gloss and matt kitchen styles.

Thankfully for us homeowners, the modern interpretation and modern styles in kitchens do not change as they do in the world of fashion. More like the car industry or the modern classic the Porsche 911, kitchens tend to evolve, with subtle changes and features which granted, when measured over say a ten year period, do amount to a sizeable shift, but from year to year, don't date prematurely.

As far as kitchens are concerned the Germans dominate the market at the moment. The designs coming out of Germany match the build quality that the Germans have always been renowned for and at German Kitchens Uber, the Manchester Kitchens specialist, we are privileged to be able to offer not just one leading German kitchens brand, but the two biggest.

Gaggenau brings professional culinary technology to the domestic kitchen and their table ventilation and domino hobs are every bit the uber German appliances for the uber German kitchen.
